Dropping the Plural Suffix: In the Demonstrative Pronouns "These" and "Those"

When a plural noun is preceded by the qualifiers "these" or "those", the qualifiers do not take the plural in Uyghur the way they do in English (e.g., بۇ قىزلار would be used for "these girls" instead of بۇلار قىزلار). In English, this would be like saying "this girls" and would not be correct, but in Uyghur this is the standard. In fact, the same pattern applies for most declensions as well, with the appropriate suffix only being applied once at the end (and not for every word throughout).
